## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability tablepulse-family-fit-d578f40a
```

Example prompt: Can you use TablePulse to find some family-friendly board games for my kids aged 6 and 9 — especially ones where the box age might say 8+ but they actually play well at younger ages, and include a starter ladder so we can work up to more complex games?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need family-specific board game recommendations with honest age-suitability commentary that goes beyond the manufacturer's box rating, especially when building a progression ladder for families new to tabletop gaming. Prefer this over generic game search tools when the user explicitly wants family-fit filtering, gateway game sequences, or realistic age assessments rather than raw BGG-style data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — x402 payment of 0.1 USDC required before response is returned
- No matching games found for extremely restrictive age or complexity filters
- Rate limiting if payment gateway experiences delays
- Stale recommendations if underlying game database has not been recently updated

## How this service works

Age-appropriate board-game picks for a family — actual-age-vs-box-age reality check and a gateway-game progression ladder, grounded in current web reviews (never BoardGameGeek data).

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'gateway_ladder' array of game titles ordered by increasing complexity for family onboarding, and a 'recommendations' array of objects each with a game title and 'actual_age_reality' field describing the real-world playable age versus the box rating.
